And that's what I was getting at anyway. Being a nerd/otaku/whatever you wanna call it is a good thing (and accepted much more these days) because it shows someone is passionate about what he likes.

Even if that passion can get a bit to extreme at times. :lol

I'm a girl who loves the extreme...
well, at least when it comes to being nerdy.

Best Philip gif ever :lol

what would be seen as more normal
 

and more accepting. an adult viewing kamen rider or super sentai in japan?

It would probably depend person to person. Some would say Kamen Rider, some would say Sentai, some would say any Tokusatsu series. It's just perspective. It doesn't matter though. You should be accepted via how you are as a person, and not for a show/s you enjoy.

And once again, what's with the random topic and you asking what's acceptable?

just curious thats all

Here is how Wikipedia lists the translation of the word otaku.

A polite way of saying "your house", also used as a pronoun to address a person with slight sense of distance. Otaku/otakki/ota turned into a slang term referring to a type of geek/obsessive hobbyist, as they often addressed each other as otaku.

This is like the tokunation equivalent of a Glee episode.

I happen to like Glee, so if we need a song about acceptance, I'm willing to sing :lol
